Starting from Rishikesh this trail includes ten days long trek. Location of this place is at Garhwal hills; Himalayas.The best season to go for the trek is from May till October.
Himalayas are said to be the "Abode of the Gods". The river Ganga takes its source in this remote massif, at the sacred shrine of Gangotri, and rushes down to the plains in a torrential fury. Very few trekkers follow this itinerary, which will lead to one of the most important spots of Hindu spirituality, where you will experience a strange atmosphere of religious fervor.
From Kedarnath, where hundreds of pilgrims arrive from all regions of India, the path proceeds at first along the sacred Bhagirathi River, then through dense forests and grassy areas as far as Lata.
From there it is a 5-hour drive to Gangotri, where the second part of the trek starts. Near Gaumukh, close to the Source of the Ganga , you will experience the strange view of half-naked saddhus in the lotus position, meditating on the bank of the bubbling stream pouring out the glacier.
Further up, Tapovan is a grassy area with numerous brooks, surrounded by snowy peaks. |
